Photo Diary: Yes, but did the mannequin pay fare?
From @dommlette:
Hi please stop stroking your mannequin’s hair on the bus. It’s getting all over me.
Ah, the things you see on Muni. Also: ew/gross/no/stop!
Austin Powers Drives the 1BX
Many of us have had to Austin Powers out of a parking space or some other traffic pickle. But on the Muni Diaries Facebook wall yesterday, Stephanie described watching a bus driver thusly maneuver a 1BX-California ‘B’ Express:
This apparently happened during the morning commute hour. Were you there? Do you have an even better FACEPALM commute story? Once you’ve told your boss that Muni ate your homework, tell us your stories. Head to the Muni Diaries Facebook Page, use our submission form, or email us at muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com.

Left You a Note on Muni
This one is pretty cute. I wonder if they ever found each other.

At least the writer of this note said please.
“…and 4. Find my to-do list.”
Monsters attack!
If you stumbled upon another quirky find on Muni, you know where to send it. Let’s be voyeurs together.
What to do when you encounter the Muni Seat Hog
We RT’d @amanda___c this morning, and got quite a number of suggestions for how to handle such an egregious breach of public-transit etiquette:
Uh, pick up his bag and throw it on him, then sit down. if he complains, tell him to F— off. 
— @michaeldowling
I usually just start sitting on the seat anyway. The introduction of a stranger’s ass is good motivation. It works. — @McClure_SF
I’ve been known to pick up a bag, plunk it in their lap, and sit. Seats are for people, not bags! — @cripsahoy
I stand in front of them and pass gas… — @murphstahoe
What about you? How do you handle this particular type of Grade-A douchefeather?
